It was a busy weekend for firefighters in Saskatoon, responding to three different fires throughout the city.
The string of incidents began when crews with the Saskatoon Fire Department were called to a garage fire just before 2 a.m. Saturday morning at 1631 Ave. C N..
Firefighters said flames were licking the outside of the garage and had already moved into the attic when they arrived.
Crews extinguished the fire quickly, but remained on scene for about an hour to ensure it was completely out.
Firefighters were then called to a house fire at 201 26th St. W. about an hour later.
Smoke and flames were seen coming from the back of the house, which was boarded up and appeared to vacant, firefighters said.
Firefighters remained on scene, rotating staff throughout the night.
